Summer Fun, Fights, and Fireworks!
Posted by Sir Max on July 4, 2014 at 2:00 PM
Ah, summer. It's finally here! I mean, it's been here for a while for most of us. Management says we need to wait until July to do any festivities, though, because of the Easterners. You know, those people with the weird accents on the other side of the globe. Those guys.
They may make us wait for our festivities, but that doesn't stop us from embracing 'MURICA on them by starting our event on the most patriotic holiday of all!
Darkness no more, however, because it's time for a big ol' Toontown Summer Celebration! For the next three days of this long weekend, we'll be Celebrating Summer around the clock with events here in Toontown. Flippy made sure to get some top-of-the-line fireworks for an entirely new show like never before, so hang onto your pants unless you want to end up like McQuack! (Sorry Smokey Joe, but the Used Firecrackers just don't cut it.)
I am required to warn you, though, that Toon HQ has been detecting some strange Cog activity in the skies. Seems like the business baddies aren't too happy with us putting a bunch of explosions up in their flying zone. Really, I don't know how we didn't think of it sooner. (I'm not saying I should be on Toon Council or anything, but I should definitely be on Toon Council or anything.)
Anyway, back to business: Looks like these bots are organizing Mega-Invasions of massive proportions to take back the skies for their own. It's the Legal Eagles, no less! You'd think that those blasted birds would be a bit more patriotic. Now that I think about it, though, we are missing quite a few necessary permits to launch Fireworks...
Get yourselves hyped up for Day 2 of the celebration folks, because I've heard that there is a Super Saturday underway targeted towards you PlayTime people! I'm off to round up the 'Muricans to give those Legal Eagles a taste of freedom, sky-neutrality, and constitutional democracy.

July 5, 2014 [ttr-beta-v1.3.1]
Maintenance:
• Improve racing code to prevent exploits
• Experimental: Turn on anti-aliasing by default
• Reduce logging of Cog pathfinding
• Implement Official Invasion API. In the future, the API will only show detailed stats for toon-summoned invasions. We never know when those baddies will attack! Due to the limited amount of invasions, it currently shows random invasions as well.
Bugfixes:
• Prevent a crash when using Shift+F1 in a Cog HQ Interior area
• Fix a bug where all DA Office elevators would lead to Office A
• Prevent a rare crash when loading Shtickerbook settings
• Fix an OSX crash that would commonly occur during boss battles
Tweaks:
• Big Magnets are now blue to match their icon
• Tweak random invasion probabilities and length based on community feedback
Features:
• Improve Firework shows with the "new" Firework system. Toontown Online originally changed the fireworks to a new type at some point in its lifetime. The old system was previously used on Toontown Rewritten due to an engine incompatibility, which has since been fixed. Enjoy the better looking Fireworks!
• The Legal Eagles aren't too happy with throwing explosions into their airspace. Legal Eagle Mega-Invasions have begun!

Yay! Happy independence day! Wow. That's A LOT of maintenance. "There is a Super Saturday underway targeted towards you PlayTime people." That's great for me then! Even though the big magnets matching their icons is only a small thing, I am REALLY excited to see them in-game. I think that other gags should match their icons, like the fruit pie and whole cream pie, for example.

"Get yourselves hyped up for Day 2 of the celebration folks, because I've heard that there is a Super Saturday underway targeted towards you PlayTime people!" This alone, I, just, I can't wait, I really want to know what it is, I can't keep my computer on long enough to get through the PlayLine so I really hope there's more space or less time or temporarily open to all or something, anything along those lines will make me explode with happiness. (On second thought, I think exploding might hurt a little bit, I think I'll just jump around a lot instead.)

First off, to Joey and team TTRW; YOU ROCK!!! I was a beta tester for the original Toontown and played daily all 10 years. I am seriously stoked to see this game infused with new life. I have yet to find a open *scheduled play time* and I have been waiting in the playline for 24 hours, but out of the blue my time reset back to over 60 hours. *drat* No problemo though, as I will wait my turn to add my expert gaming skills sprinkled with heavy sarcasm and goofy jokes. (Goofy pun intended) Per the norm, I will be here to help other toons who need guidance in the game, or a helping hand in a cog battle and of course, I am here to help Team TTRW anyway I can. If you need any write ups or my past experience with the original Beta testing or my 10 years of game play, by all means hit me up.

Hey guys! I realise that you guys will celebrate 4th July much more than me being British but I haven't seen anyone comment on the BLUE BIG MAGNETS. I was very confused and a little annoyed on TTO that the big magnet were only slightly larger red magnets unlike the gag picture. I think it's great that we'll finally have an obvious way to differentiate between big and small magnets. Wow, I didn't anticipate being able to talk for so long about magnets. I guess that's my Physics knowledge coming out, and my eagerness to be back playing the game I love properly, without excessive lag.
